The family of an East Dubuque woman who was killed in a three-vehicle pileup on Halloween has filed a wrongful-death lawsuit.

Tabitha Carroll, 32, formerly of Carpentersville, died last fall while she, her husband and their son were on their way from a Huntley pumpkin farm to East Dundee to celebrate Halloween with family.

The Carrolls were stopped in traffic on Route 47 near Interstate 90 in Huntley when their Ford pickup was pushed from behind by a semi-truck into a stopped Illinois Department of Transportation dump truck.

Tabitha Carroll, in the passenger seat, was pronounced dead at the scene, while husband Randy and 3-year-old son Gabriel were airlifted to separate hospitals.

The wrongful-death lawsuit – seeking more than $50,000 in damages for all three – was filed Friday by Carroll’s estate, family attorney John J. Perconti said.
